Looking for this week's Marketplace Money show? We are on hiatus this week because we're hard at work for stories we will bring you on October 5. The Money team and the Wealth and Poverty Desk are in San Diego, preparing stories for a show that examines the tough choices and tradeoffs poor people have to make when it comes to spending their money.
